Blood on the streets

I haven't commuted (Hither Green to Hampstead) since July, when I had my accident.

All this is making it very difficult for me to talk myself back onto the bike.

(that and the fact all that bedrest has made me MAJORLY unfit)

I've just come back to commuting this year after 3 years of walking to work. I honestly don't think it's less safe than before - but there are a LOT more cyclists on the road. To be really honest I am more worried about them than I am about drivers 99% of the time. The reckless and stupid things I see people do on a daily basis are quite shocking - and for no real reason either (jumping a red in traffic to shave 30 seconds off your commute, wriggling down the side of an HGV at lights just to make sure you are first to pull away etc...).
